Chapter 287 Mechanical Awakening
Awakening the Spirit is one of the important symbols that distinguishes the Mechanical Department from Rune Puppets, Mechas, etc.
Unlike equipment-type pets whose spirits are slowly born through the erosion of time, mechanical-type pets can be awakened through a special and exclusive method, completely transforming from cold machines into intelligent life forms.
However, this method of awakening spirits has always been in the hands of the Federation. From war machinery to civilian tools, the awakening ceremony is handled by specialized federal departments.
And now, Shuke can also awaken his spirit?
Shuke let go of the robot vacuum cleaner and said, "Although I'm not very proficient yet, I think I have mastered it."
After getting Shuke's confirmation, Bai Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.
The same machine, before and after the awakening, has a world of difference in combat effectiveness and potential. Now that Shuke has mastered the ability of awakening, won't he be able to allow Shuke to build an iron army?
Is he going to be the man behind the Mechanical Emperor again?
Hmm, why does this development feel familiar, and I have a bad feeling.
Just when Bai Qi was about to show off, Shuke poured cold water on him and said, "But this kind of spiritual awakening will consume my mechanical fire. It cannot be used continuously, otherwise it will hurt my essence."
Sure enough, he knew that nothing good would happen.
Bai Qi sighed, glanced at the sweeping robot in front of him, and said, "In this case, we must carefully select the candidates for Qi Ling, and don't waste them."
"But the mechanical spark turned out to be the source of the awakening spirit. This is somewhat beyond my expectation. How come there has been no news leaked out for so many years?"
Mechanical spark is a seventh-level technology, but there are still many mechanical creations that have ignited the spark. If the spark has this ability, someone would definitely discover it by accident.
"It has been launched as a research project, but if possible, Beastmaster, you'd better collect more seventh-level technologies. It will be very helpful for me to crack the cause."
"I'll try."
Bai Qi sighed. Currently, the person most likely to provide seventh-order mechanical technology was only Professor Chu. However, according to Professor Chu's requirements, he had to research a core patent in the mechanical department before he could redeem it.
Although the Spirit Control Ball used runes, Professor Chu considered its mechanical appearance and its epoch-making significance and did not argue with Bai Qi. As for the rune mechanical weapon, although Professor Chu acknowledged its identity as a mechanical creation, unfortunately, it was classified as a first-level patent under the rune mechanical structure and could not be redeemed.
Therefore, his only option now is to research the technology of machine-flesh fusion.
"Shuke, take some samples from the junction of flesh and blood. Delta, we need to speed up the research progress."
After these days of involutionary learning, he has now mastered the basics of biology. Delta, on the other hand, seems to be on the path to becoming an expert.
There was no other way. When Delta encountered a phenomenon that he couldn't understand, he simply evolved into the corresponding form and continued to study after experiencing it personally.
In this regard, Bai Qi could only say that true knowledge can only come from combining theory with practice, well, the kind of practice that involves personally serving as a sample.
Bloopers.
(Okay, it just so happens that Delta has recently come up with some new research directions and would like to discuss them with the Master.)
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
(That is, we can try to cultivate Shukebeta... and then...)
"Yeah, that makes sense. Let's go and try it first."
After saying that, Bai Qi pulled Delta and Husky and headed straight for the Biology Building, not noticing Cordyceps who was hesitant to speak behind him.
"Didn't you want to give me some special treatment just now?"
Chongcao looked at Bai Qi, who had completely forgotten about it, speechlessly, with a confused look on his face.
Isn't it said that the more time passes, the more attention the beastmaster will pay to the contracted pet? Why does it feel like it's the other way around here?
Crunch.
(Epsilon, please send another opponent in my image into my dream.)
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Seeing Alpha coming, Cordyceps immediately put on a flattering look, and after getting Alpha's approval, he dragged Alpha into the dream.
"It seems that it is enough to preserve this memory."
Chongcao looked at the memory that was fighting with Alpha, and suddenly thought of the direction of becoming stronger. He silently observed Alpha's movements and improved the portrayal of Alpha bit by bit.
If this image could be recreated in a dream, it would probably scare a lot of people to death?
…
Gusu City.
Wuhou Dojo.
The cold wind of late autumn did not in the least dampen the enthusiasm of the spirit masters who rushed to the Wuhou Dojo Gym. Even though the gym was already full, spirit masters from Gusu City and even nearby cities continued to come to watch the battle.
The first Spirit Tamer Battle in the Federation's history may not be as magnificent as the battles between Beast Tamers, but for Spirit Tamers, this battle will be more exciting than any other battle between Beast Tamers.
Perhaps only those without talent can understand this idea.
“I didn’t expect that even though I temporarily borrowed the venue of the breeding house to conduct the live broadcast, it was still not enough.”
Zhuge Xu looked at the huge crowds of people below. Although he was complaining, the smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.
When this first Spirit Control Master Battle Tournament comes to a successful conclusion, their Wu Hou Gym and even the Wu Hou Foundation will definitely become famous in the Federation. Coupled with the final mysterious prize, the popularity of the competition will definitely be pushed to a climax.
Of course, even if the effect is ultimately lower than he expected, Zhuge Xu doesn't care.
The Federation's designated military product manufacturer, the sole producer of rune mechanical weapons, the responsible unit for one-third of the Federation's spirit master breeding halls, and the sales point for spirit master balls...
With these things in place, strictly speaking, this match can only be ranked as icing on the cake.
"Look at the way you're laughing. Your mouth is almost reaching your heels. It's a good thing Xia Yi isn't here, otherwise he would be pissed off to death by you."
President Qin looked at Zhuge Xu speechlessly and couldn't help but teasing him.
Although the Xia Group has obtained the production rights of the Soul Control Ball, the profits it can earn are definitely terrifying, but if Xia Yi knew that the Rune Mechanical Armament, a device that is a perfect match with the Soul Control Ball, was intercepted by the Wu Hou Group, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.
"You can't blame me for this. I readily gave up the production rights of the Yuling Ball. The Rune Mechanical Armor was just an accident."
Zhuge Xu spoke helplessly, but his heart was full of joy.
Originally, the Wuhou Group had no achievements in the field of mechanics, and could not recruit any capable mecha masters. But now, because of Bai Qi, Professor Chu, the most experienced professor in the mecha major of Xingji Academy, has personally led a team to form a research group here. The Wuhou Group has now initially qualified to enter the mechanical manufacturing industry.
And all of this was also thanks to Bai Qi.
It is definitely the lucky star of the Zhuge family.
"By the way, why hasn't Bai Qi come yet? After all, he is the inventor of the Yuling Ball. If he doesn't come, this battle will be greatly diminished."
Zhuge Xu looked behind President Qin, but did not see Bai Qi.
"I've asked Luo Xiang to call him. This rascal is late again. He really can't be praised at all."
President Qin sighed unhappily.
"No need. I just saw Master Luo coming back from outside. He should have contacted Bai Qi."
Yi Yu walked in from outside, looked at the angry President Qin, and said with a smile: "I think Bai Qi should arrive before the decisive battle."
"I hope so."
Seeing Yi Yu appear, President Qin also restrained his expression, looked at Zhuge Xu, and said: "In this case, let's start according to the process."
"That's good. There are quite a few Spirit Masters participating in the competition today. We really need to hurry up."
Zhuge Xu nodded, and then began to direct the personnel from various departments to take their positions, while President Qin also notified the association's beastmasters one by one to be ready.
To organize such a large-scale event involving the entire Gusu City, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the Beast Tamers of the Wuhou Gym, so the Wuhou Gym only provides the venue, and the referees and other things are basically the responsibility of the Beast Tamers of the Association.
…
While the group was busy in full swing, Bai Qi was still immersed in his own research.
"Failed again. Sure enough, the feasibility of cultivating Shukebeta's mechanical cells is still a little low."
Bai Qi looked at the motionless cells in the culture dish with some regret and sighed heavily.
After his discussion with Delta, they decided to try to cultivate Husky cells to act as a fusion agent to help the fusion of machinery and flesh.
But for some reason, the Husky's cells lose the ability to divide after leaving the body, and will slowly degenerate into metal, making them unable to serve as a fusion agent at all.
Bloopers.
(It seems Delta needs to continue studying for a while.)
Delta also felt a little regretful, but it was quickly replaced by determination and was not affected by the failure at all.
"There's no need to be so anxious. We've been researching for so long but still have no ideas. Maybe there's something wrong with our direction. Let's take a break first."
Bai Qi patted Delta and said, " Next, you should study the fusion of the Proto-Beast and the Ancient Species. After all, this is closely related to you, so it may be easier to study."
Bloopers.
(Delta understands.)
Delta nodded and continued to study, but Bai Qi suddenly thought of something and looked at Shuke who was analyzing the data and asked, "Shuke, what time is it now?"
Shuke paused after hearing this and said, "It has been nearly three days since you, Beastmaster, started your research. According to the schedule, you should be appearing in the Spirit Master Battle now."
"I forgot about it!"
Bai Qi's face changed when he heard that, and he quickly pulled Delta and ran out, while complaining to Shuke.
"Shuke, why didn't you remind me?"
"According to the records, I have reminded you ten times, but you ignored them all. I suggest you cancel the alarm setting next time and use an electric shock reminder instead."
"Tell me the truth, are you being controlled by Beta now..."
